27
Q

what are the openings between arms of horseshoe-shaped cartilages closed by in the adventitia of the trachea

A

28
Q

what are the bronchi that lie outside the lung

A

extrapulmonary bronchi

29
Q

what are segmental bronchi mostly

A

intrapulmonary

30
Q

what are segmental bronchi reinforced by

A

circular rings of hyaline cartilage that transition to irregular plates

31
Q

what happens as the bronchi become smaller

A

there is a decrease in the height of the epithelium, a decrease in cartilage and glands, and an increase in the proportion of elastic fibers and smooth muscles

32
Q

what type of fibers are prominent in the mucosa of the intrapulmonary bronchi

A

elastic fibers

33
Q

what is the submucosa of the intrapulmonary bronchi characterized by

A

characterized by loose CT and lymphatic tissue

contains mixed glands and mucous glands

34
Q

what does the adventitia of the intrapulmonary bronchi contain

A

hyaline cartilage plates surrounded by dense FECT

35
Q

what is absent in bronchioles

A

absence of cartilage

absence of glands

36
Q

what are the smallest type of bronchioles

A

terminal bronchioles

37
Q

what type of epithelium is characteristic of respiratory bronchioles

A

epithelium of low columnar to low cuboidal

38
Q

where does gas exchange typically occur in bronchioles

A

alveolar outpocketings

39
Q

what are alveolar ducts

A

continuations of respiratory bronchioles

40
Q

what type of epithelium is in alveolar ducts

A

squamous epithelium

41
Q

what do the walls of the alveolar ducts consists of

A

smooth muscle with FECT

42
Q

what is each alveolar sacs composed of

A

several alveoli

43
Q

what are the alveoli within sacs separated by

A

alveolar septa

44
Q

what is another name for type 1 and 2 alveolar cells

A

type 1 and 2 pneumocytes (respectively)

45
Q

what is the difference between type 1 and type 2 alveolar cells

A

type 1: less numerous than type 2 and cover largest surface area
type 2: cuboidal or rounded. serve as stem cells for type 1 and type 2 pneumocytes

46
Q

what are pores of kohn

A

openings between adjacent alveoli

47
Q

how are smooth muscle fibers oriented

A

concentrically, in a spiral fasion

48
Q

how are elastic fibers oriented

A

longitudinally

49
Q

what type of epithelium is in stem cells in the mucosa

A

basal cells of pseudo stratified epithelium

50
Q

what are goblet cells in the mucosa

A

mucous secreting cells

also stem cells; can replace other cells of epithelium

51
Q

what are neuroendocrine cells

A

(small granule cells)
may be associated with sensory reception and are more prevalent in infants
release catecholamines

52
Q

what secretes surfactants

53
Q

what is lecithin secreted by and what do they combine with

A

secreted from apical domain of cells
